Abstract

In this paper, we study the maximum density, threshold and emptiness 
queries for intervals in the streaming model. The input is a stream S 
of n points in the real line R and a floating closed interval W of width alpha. The specific problems we consider in this paper are as follows.
- Maximum density: find a placement of W in R containing the
maximum number of points of S.
- Threshold query: find a placement of W in R, if it exists,
that contains at least Delta elements of S. 
- Emptiness query: find, if possible, a placement of W within the extent of S so that the interior of W does not contain any element of S.

The stream S, being huge, does not fit into main memory and can be read sequentially at most a constant number of times, usually once. 
The problems studied here in the geometric setting have relations to frequency estimation and heavy hitter identification in a stream of data. We provide lower bounds and results on trade-off between extra space and quality of solution. We also discuss generalizations for the higher dimensional variants for a few cases.
